| - Let's just put it out there: Battista's is food for the masses. It's like a cafeteria disguised as a restaurant and it's serving mass-produced, perfectly edible fare.
The food is fine (but crazy overpriced). Our service was excellent. The accordion guy is amusing. The decor is kitschy and colorful. The gals at the hostess stand were standoffish and definitely need personality transplants.
Look, I love great service and the service was really friendly and attentive. So, they get points for that.
The food was perfectly edible. It's not great and it's not bad. But with a million great restaurants in LV, I'm not sure you need to be eating average food anywhere.
The lasagna was about as good as you can buy in the frozen food section of your local supermarket. It was fine but nothing special. The chicken parmigiana was a much, much better dish and, if you must eat here, I would go for that plate.
You get two pitchers of wine (white and red) on your table and you pour it yourself and drink as much as you want. It's all included with the overpriced food. It's drinkable stuff but nothing special. You do realize there are bottles of wine out there for sale that are $2 and $3 a bottle right? This is probably that stuff. So, don't get too excited about the "free" wine.
You also get a "homemade" cappuccino included with your meal. It's an absolute sugar bomb and unlike any other cappuccino I've ever had. For me, this WAS the dessert (and honestly, even though the sugar levels were off the charts, it was pretty darn good).
Not a bad experience at all but really, no strong reason to return.
